"Absolute Empfehlung. Jeder Kuchen, der probiert wurde (immerhin 4^^), war ein absoluter Knaller. Außerdem haben wir uns wundervoll mit der Inhaberin und anderen Gästen unterhalten. Das Ambiente war trotz Regen und noch kälteren Temperaturen zauberhaft. Backtipps haben wir auch abgestaubt...also im Grunde 6 Sterne, wenn das möglich wäre. :)"
